<p>My name is Peter Bryant, I am a doctoral researcher and DIY artist working on an extensive project on participation in DIY arts and specifically zine making through the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia. I had a series of very useful conversations with around 30 zine makers from all over the world in 2011.

<p>My name is Peter Bryant, I am a doctoral researcher and DIY artist working on an extensive project on participation in DIY arts and specifically zine making through the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia. I had a series of very useful conversations with around 30 zine makers from all over the world in 2011. I have now reached final stage of the project which involves talking to people who are new to zine making (making zines for two years or less). The purpose of the research is to look at how people choose zine making and their personal stories of their first exposure to zines and zine making, with main aim of the project to help understand how practices such as zines, street art and community radio can survive and continue to flourish in a changing digital and artistic environment.</p>
<p></p>
<p>So, if you are interested in participating, the interviews for the project will take around 30 minutes of your time. The interviews wills be conducted through email. If you are a zine maker, have been making zines for two years or less and are interested in participating please contact me via email - peterjamesbryant (at) gmail (dot) com.</p> psychOUT calling for submissionstag:wemakezines.ning.com,2011-07-26:2288844:Topic:2571342011-07-26T15:40:57.909ZIsabel Xochitlhttp://wemakezines.ning.com/profile/IsabelXochitl

<p>I'm embarking on my first perzine, and while I know most of the content already, I'm curious about what makes a 'good' perzine to others. I know what I like, but what are other people after in the ones they read?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For instance, I like 'short snippets of daily life' type of stories. I also love lists. :)</p>

I'm kind of new to the whole zine making thing. I've made two zines of different topics. The first one I made 40 copies of because it was shorter and wanted to give a lot away. The second zine I started I made 15 copies, but ended up having to make more because people wanted to trade/my friends wanted some etc.<div><br></br></div>
<div>So I guess I'm asking</div>
<div><br></br></div>
<div>How many copies of your zines do you make?</div>
<div>Do you ever recopy/reprint your zines?</div>
<div>Is there…</div>

my zine isn't really a perzine, but there is a lot of personnal stuff in it. sometimes too personnal. I wrote a zine about how I felt intoo punk and zines, and perhaps why. I wrote it, but after reading, it seems way too personnal, like a journal or a biography.<br />
<br />
do you sometimes prefer to not print something you feel too personnal ?
